Using Pro Audio Converter as a Tag Editor

Update tags on existing files without converting them — ideal for quick metadata cleanups.

Although Pro Audio Converter's primary function is to convert between audio file formats, you can also use it as a metadata tag editor. If you have files you do not wish to convert but only want to edit their metadata, follow these three steps.

1) Add Files to the Queue

Drag your source audio files onto Pro Audio Converter to add them to the queue. Files can also be added using several other methods.
